Being in Canada I thought of red and white and I wanted to do a little something different, so I found this redwork pattern in one of my Mini quilt mags then I added these lovely pinwheels about an inch in diameter and then mitered the corners with some hand quilting you can see at the bottom. I also have her an option to hang the quilt if she so wished.<br />I did not know my partner Margaret, but she seemed to be the traveller just coming back from Paris and then away again. She has finally been able to settle a bit and she was able to enjoy her quilt. I am happy that she is happy.<br />Thanks to <a href="http://humblequilts.blogspot.ca/2015/06/doll-quilt-swap-linky-party.html" target="_blank">Lori of Humble quilts</a> for organizing it and having a little patience If you click on her name you will see the link up of all the wee quilts.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALoAiRcSWZA/VYqkTpujm3I/AAAAAAAAR54/lFGMkDfYK_o/s1600/CIMG4018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALoAiRcSWZA/VYqkTpujm3I/AAAAAAAAR54/lFGMkDfYK_o/s320/CIMG4018.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Quilting of Redwork</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />&nbsp;the one below I got from my sweet swappee she hand quilted it and the signature block is just as lovely as the quilt, not only that I got some wonderful Fort Wayne chocolate.

I vowed I would not start quilting another quilt till this one is done<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rzB2qPVLJSw/VQRULdA_oqI/AAAAAAAARpc/-7OU7ABli7k/s1600/CIMG3067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rzB2qPVLJSw/VQRULdA_oqI/AAAAAAAARpc/-7OU7ABli7k/s1600/CIMG3067.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so below is one of the places where the applique action occurs, as you can see Buddy is waiting for me to sit there so that he can chew on his stick that is under his belly, you can also see other projects waiting for me under the quilt frame, I have to have a quilt on so that when Buddy is done he crawls under and sleeps. The angel today attacked a raccoon and got bit, so we were at the emergency vets pain and antibiotics and we are home 2 punctures on the right shoulder and neck and his poor forehead/ear scratched and &nbsp;bruised, he is lucky that is all! I saw the size of the monster as he debated whether to go up the tree or just stay where he was, massive! When he did decide it was very slow he was fat! This is also with the prospect of a colonoscopy today (for me), so I am in the middle of prep work, not a pleasant situation to be in when we go to the vets lucky for us there was only one other person there. A great shout out though to the<a href="http://www.tveh.ca/" target="_blank"> Toronoto Veternary Emergency Hospital</a> they were fabulous! no sedation needed to investigate the guy and just a shave.&nbsp;</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WbafketHjeA/VQRUWJN_u_I/AAAAAAAARpo/ooZTWe30nz4/s1600/CIMG3035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WbafketHjeA/VQRUWJN_u_I/AAAAAAAARpo/ooZTWe30nz4/s1600/CIMG3035.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>&nbsp;Okay back to quilting, I also prepped all the border blocks and have more than half appliqued so I got a little excited and posted all the blocks I have done on the wall, I am half way there so that is a good sign.

Rogers was out the next day and now we are back in action.

I learned this from my retreat in April the Canadian Group<br /><br />Well off to see what other kinda trouble I can get myself into...http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/05/where-to-start.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-28368852110630558Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:27:00 +00002013-04-18T05:27:50.694-04:00WaitingI have not been piecing or doing applique&nbsp;lately but hand quilting, I have just made another turn on my Pansy in the Park quilt. <br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-y3jwMv7F_qE/UW-7XSb5qZI/AAAAAAAAFpE/VoxoSDyVGBU/s1600-h/100_4305%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4305" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gsu_TIp-KB4/UW-7ZHrPVHI/AAAAAAAAFpM/xyqWq-p0mkQ/100_4305_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="184" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4305" width="244" /></a><br />This was a thrilling turn I can see the top of the quilt so I will be foraging ahead trying to finish it. <br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FE7xWdy4YGY/UW-7a3yFYUI/AAAAAAAAFpU/d-cjQJj0l_k/s1600-h/100_4306%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4306" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zA6-z9Nd_ZU/UW-7bkoVWHI/AAAAAAAAFpc/1nSarB7DAyo/100_4306_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4306" width="184" /></a><br />I am waiting till dawn so that I can rearrange my van to get ready for my final quilting retreat with the Twisted Stitchers group at Elim Lodge (my favourite place). While I am posting I hear the rain tickling my window so it will be a wet travel which is fine I like the rain.<br />&nbsp;I have brought 4 projects with me and will see how much I get done. These are the ones that were not unpacked from the previous retreat in Woodstock. I did work on the frogging one on a sew day I had at Brambleberry Cottage (Irene`s) on Thursday and got great progress that will be my first finish on retreat. <br /><br />&nbsp;There are going to be 20 or our group and 12 of another group that will be sharing. I will be travelling with the co-coordinator Fran since I have a Grand Caravan that can fit lots and I also love to drive. I always ask the ladies if I am allowed to post their projects and faces on my blog, most are compliant I hope I have another great slideshow for you. <br /><br />On another note. I am trying to follow the blogs that I used to follow but it has been extremely difficult I was under the impression that Reader would be available till July but the option has already disappeared I am trying that blogly and find that they had not picked up all my blogs that I follow so please forgive me if you have not heard from me but you can email me to add to your blog <br />I feel lost without my regular blogs and reader, it is amazing how you depend on things and distressed it is when taken away….the powers that be need to understand some of us are not good with change. <br />well I am finishing laundry and vacuuming, nothing is better than coming home to a clean place after fun, fun, fun. I hope you all can get some stitching in too..http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/04/waiting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-129927983214950785Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:13:00 +00002013-04-08T12:13:46.712-04:00Quilt retreat number 2I had a great time this past weekend and have a slide show to present. you will need a cuppa tea this is about sixty odd pictures.

This is a block swap I was in I think it was 2010 on Quilt with us these are the blocks I got back so then I had to think of what fabric to put with them and how to lay them out. so this is number one Tadaaaaa<br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-S9LThoR_Qpc/UVgwGUGOPAI/AAAAAAAAFng/b2W14_Jova0/s1600-h/CIMG0966%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CIMG0966" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IgbLSvQNsGw/UVhTTmltwMI/AAAAAAAAFnw/N6uXZBI-yOs/CIMG0966_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="CIMG0966" width="164" /></a><br />Number 2 Tadaaa..to treat myself for finishing a UFO I brought a kit I had purchased from Fon`s and Porter. It was interesting when I first opened it cause the pinwheel fabric is printed…it is a panel. I had to fussy cut so I did and pieced and on the bewitching hour, I got the top done. I have not put the boarders on as yet I have enough extra fabric to add another row I would like it a little bigger. I am hoping to squeeze 2 rows out of the fabric. This is made all with Jo Morton fabrics. <br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pC4o7IzhaPI/UVhV_w5M3fI/AAAAAAAAFn4/nnHIHLKojdU/s1600-h/CIMG0973%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CIMG0973" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-elj9PRAjGKI/UVhWAZOGWCI/AAAAAAAAFoA/YipPxueQ9l4/CIMG0973_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="164" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="CIMG0973" width="244" /></a><br />Then I pieced together a quillow for a friend that had been promised 2 years ago…I forgot to take a picture of the quilt inside but did got the finished quillow pieced.<br /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-a18xICPAvdc/UVhWDk8WnDI/AAAAAAAAFoI/IcW3Dv_irWg/s1600-h/CIMG0976%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CIMG0976" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-e5Cva6o_YPQ/UVhWETF3_CI/AAAAAAAAFoQ/CPuwFd2YZ8I/CIMG0976_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="164" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="CIMG0976" width="244" /></a><br />Then I came home and had brought this quilt with me to do but didn`t get it done. Sunday I got it all together made a major booo booo had to rip some rows and got it done yesterday…<br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-i_tnXeHOa2w/UVhWHKEynLI/AAAAAAAAFoY/Heb-8E2mfCY/s1600-h/CIMG0977%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CIMG0977" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Y57Sh9c8eRE/UVhWHjj67xI/AAAAAAAAFog/8ruUMKPt3Qo/CIMG0977_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="164" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="CIMG0977" width="244" /></a><br />The blocks I had bought at the guild boutique one of the quilt show for a dollar each I was thinking of a yellow quilt and this is what I came up with I only had the little blocks and added the HST around them. All the fabrics were just from my stash for all 3 quilts and quillow. <br />I am going to another retreat this weekend I hope I have the same progress. http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/3-tops-done-in-one-retreat.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-2796548847848600242Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:40:00 +00002013-03-15T15:40:32.041-04:00Applique away!<br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-n7zTb1pkjlo/UUN4obWXKdI/AAAAAAAAFmI/vfti-IZVCQQ/s1600-h/100_4303%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4303" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-inBltqxM9Y8/UUN4pLTMEiI/AAAAAAAAFmQ/fuyZRFh3eSQ/100_4303_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="400" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4303" width="301" /></a><br />My fingers are busy with applique I have one side done just have the little peep holes to put into the bows top part to make them look like bows. <br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-gWIbK5fzyo0/UUN4sdhRGPI/AAAAAAAAFmY/sX8INlfo6tI/s1600-h/100_4304%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4304" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mx_7NwrJM7g/UUN4tC1_ybI/AAAAAAAAFmg/M6QnDEhpYHc/100_4304_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="184" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4304" width="244" /></a><br />Getting ready for more applique this is a UFO I started I think last year. Have now decided which fabric for the celtic part. This was a free Fons and Porter pattern, it was the only pattern that got me to like that new Stonehedge fabric. <br />I will have more to show hopefully in the coming weeks will be going to a couple of retreats. Spoiled myself a little 4 quilting retreats in the span of 2 months…what was I thinking!! Great to celebrate winter and before the spring weather comes where quilting will have to be put aside and get out there and garden. http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/applique-away.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-8429300752366633638Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:39:00 +00002013-03-07T15:39:38.833-05:00I am a picker<br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CXbAkSF9gIc/UTj6L7fmY_I/AAAAAAAAFlM/WATCN1ViRhc/s1600-h/100_4300%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4300" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FEaa745KRCA/UTj6MXrZ3xI/AAAAAAAAFlU/oXPysOFDHvg/100_4300_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4300" width="184" /></a><br />This gem brightened up my day (car troubles again) but when we were going to get the money out of the bank, she was sitting on the side of the road<br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EMr-lFxKE3U/UTj6PPZXDoI/AAAAAAAAFlc/LqnRD-xB8l8/s1600-h/100_4301%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4301" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4Np0YncR7RI/UTj6PyBGZlI/AAAAAAAAFlk/W3A8OBtM9Ts/100_4301_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="184" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4301" width="244" /></a><br /><blockquote>perfect beside my chair to put my quilty things in wouldn`t you say? like&nbsp;thread, pincushion, projects of embroidery.

I was able to get 2 sides glue basted for applique.<br />We had a wonderful time&nbsp;2 ladies, Irene and myself &nbsp;and we are booked for April and May sessions too. Ladies stopped by to visit Irene`s studio, we had a delicious lunch of squash soup and salad with cheese and crackers. <br />I am posting a link on the side to her studio, Irene is a designer and teacher and represents Northcott as a designer of&nbsp;patterns for their fabrics. (which we were lucky to be there when she received&nbsp;her shipment of&nbsp;gorgeous new flannels)<br />&nbsp;Hopefully when you visit her site you will see patterns and classes that will suit your needs. <br />Next time I will remember to bring my camera, I had worked a night shift and pretty well had to make sure I could remember what I needed for the sewday! next time there will be more people there. http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/really.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-5094847115034490927Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:29:00 +00002013-03-04T15:29:59.407-05:00It paysto keep signing out one of your guilds library books for 2 years. I keep signing this book out every time I go to guild for one thing I love the cover quilt, and the quilts inside I would make every one of them they are all very special quilts. Plus no one ever has asked for it to be reserved for them<br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LtXf7P99rkU/UTUCYRln3gI/AAAAAAAAFi4/SngAF0bKAJE/s1600-h/100_4295%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4295" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TI5BXMGmQW8/UTUCY-4A5HI/AAAAAAAAFjA/Nnx9rZ3QRQA/100_4295_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4295" width="184" /></a><br />but then I got a plan, do you remember this quilt?

I hope this does not deter her from doing another one. I know life happens but courtesy to communicate is part of swap protocol. I have to think now how to lay these out so that I can have a winter lap quilt. http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/it-pays.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680465159683761228.post-4968248853555411188Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:31:00 +00002013-03-03T07:31:40.700-05:00It`s Rose Marie`s fault<br />this is one of the beautiful gifts she had for us in a <a href="http://appliqueandpatches.blogspot.ca/2013/03/we-3-quilters-visit-part-deux.html" target="_blank">gorgeous gift bag Rose Marie posted</a> the bag all the gifts came in. Thank goodness cause I was so excited I didn`t. It is a perfect Walmart bag for when we go shopping in August.&nbsp; Rose Marie also gave us the first edition of 100 Blocks by Quiltmaker, to me this is the best edition great blocks to work on. We all loved this cute scrappy sock pattern that will be a good one to work on too, wouldn`t ya know it this was in our bag too<br />Go back to <a href="http://appliqueandpatches.blogspot.ca/2013/03/we-3-quilters-visit-part-deux.html" target="_blank">Rose Marie`s blog</a> today she has posted more and you will have a great quilt show and be very jealous of what we got to explore everyday<br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-HD0xTu42RAc/UTIOgO_w1VI/AAAAAAAAFhg/RFeqXcVbILY/s1600-h/100_4289%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4289" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qZmQYQrt-D0/UTIOiLiyNpI/AAAAAAAAFho/BiHnojEb8co/100_4289_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4289" width="184" /></a><br />I used my dishcloth and loved the size of it for doing dishes<br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dPCvsNyI4hI/UTIOlJp_boI/AAAAAAAAFhw/m2gwJYKIIUk/s1600-h/100_4290%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4290" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jw2IPqkr7Bs/UTIOlmhRNyI/AAAAAAAAFh4/UKdd-kvFCYQ/100_4290_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="184" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4290" width="244" /></a><br />so then I had to try to make one of my own…not as nice I have to wait till Mary (no blog) comes back from London England to show me the finishing. but if you look at my edges something is still not right...or maybe fly back to North Bay...hummmmm...I have a plan (that is for RM)<br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-josDqlwwcDc/UTIOnKfQZMI/AAAAAAAAFiA/7OMk23aBtFE/s1600-h/100_4288%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4288" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fIXwPawlTz4/UTIOngtb9kI/AAAAAAAAFiI/pbQiigFgsc0/100_4288_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4288" width="184" /></a><br />Knitting is instant gratification perfect for an applique quilter, look I made a slipper too, my DH loved it so I am giving him this pair and then I will make a pair a little smaller for me<br /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nd0pcZfONc4/UTIOo9Wz0cI/AAAAAAAAFiQ/_5tm2_3Wshw/s1600-h/100_4291%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4291" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--ZMshDsN1yE/UTIOpb2vUwI/AAAAAAAAFiY/xpzMIjCZtC0/100_4291_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="244" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4291" width="184" /></a><br />I am not feeling well right now (don`t worry just a bug) but as you can see I have something to occupy my brain. I am digging in the scraps so that I can get more baskets ready to applique. Dig a little and then lay back under that quilt, dig a little and then lay back<br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FmiWo0JXTic/UTIOsfEg5tI/AAAAAAAAFig/41ICKfAFA3s/s1600-h/100_4292%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="100_4292" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DaxuWOLrg3Q/UTIOtFZkUQI/AAAAAAAAFio/vVzBcSGgDa4/100_4292_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="184" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="100_4292" width="244" /></a><br />Rose Marie also made this wonderful beef goulash dish and I remember making it many many years ago, as you can see I have another craving, another easy dish that I an slow cook and dump on a plate when we get hungry. <br />I just dumped it all in there, &nbsp;now to wait till it cooks I hope I can smell it!http://patchworksanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/its-rose-maries-fault.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Debra Anger)5
